Article: "Mosque conversion raises alarm" Link: http://theartnewspaper.com/articles/Mosque-conversion-raises-alarm/29200 Summary: This article discusses the controversy of converting the Hagia Sophia - which is currently a museum - into a mosque. The government body that is responsible for most of the historical mosques says that the Hagia Sophia is an "illegal occupation." The church has been ruled by the court as an "inalienable part of the foundation of Sultan Mehmed 11 who first turned the church into a mosque after his conquest of the Empire of Trebizonf in 1462." Mazhar Yildirimhan says that "A building agreed as a mosque cannot be used for any other purpose." There has been asimilar problem with other churches in and near Istanbul. One church that had been converted into a museum and is now a mosque has caused many disagreements. Engin Akyurek says "There is a great difference between conserving a historical building and reconstructing it so it can be used as a mosque." Many people also say that "it has lost most of its character" when they are discussing what has happened to other churches that were in the same postion. As you can see, there has been a lot of controversy about whether the Hagia Sophia should be converted into a mosque or not that has been affected by what has happened to other churches. The 13th-century Church of Hagia Sophia in the Black Sea city of Trabzon, which is now a museum, will be converted into a mosque.

Nature An Ancient Japanese gateway. The reflection of the sun off of the water. A cool sea breeze. The tall mountains, All different shapes and sizes. Everything is calm, Peaceful. This is nature. My original picture was on pages 214 and 215!
Born in Saxe-Eisenach, Johann Sebastian Bach, had an interesting life. Johann was the eighth child in his family. His was likely to have been taught "violin and the basics of music history", by his father. Around age 10, his mother died. Eight months later, his father passed away. After this, Johann moved in with his older brother, Johann Christoph Bach. His brother was a musician. Johann copied and practiced music at his brother's. His brother "instructed him on the clavichord and showed him works of great composers." He was "a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, and violinist." He composed Brandenburg Concertos, the Mass in B minor, and the Well-tempered Clavier. Johann also had "large choral-orchestra works." St. Matthew Passion and St John Passion, are two examples. These were "written for Good Friday vespers services." Johann's health started to decline. "Bach became increasingly blind, so the British eye surgeon, John Taylor, operated on Bach while visiting Leipzig." He died at age 65 from "'the unhappy consequences of the very unsuccessful eye operation.'" It's believed by modern historians "that the cause of death was a stroke complicated by pneumonia." In conclusion, Johann Sebastian Bach had a life that was different from other composers.
Life is a Cupboard Life is a cupboard. Sometimes it is full of mouth-watering delicacies, Such as chocolate covered pretzels and cinnamon swirl bread. Girl Scout Cookies. Your favorites of all time. Things you love when you're in a good mood, But it is not always that fine. It may be entirely bare some days -- Empty. Depleted. But the times when it is full, Are the best times of all. Enjoy them while you can, Because life is a cupboard.

Nature
An Ancient Japanese gateway.
The reflection of the sun off of the water.
A cool sea breeze.
The tall mountains,
All different shapes and sizes.
Everything is calm,
Peaceful.
This is nature.

Life is a Cupboard
Life is a cupboard.
Sometimes it is full of mouth-watering delicacies,
Such as chocolate covered pretzels and cinnamon swirl bread.
Girl Scout Cookies.
Your favorites of all time.
Things you love when you're in a good mood,
But it is not always that fine.
It may be entirely bare some days --
Empty.
Depleted.
But the times when it is full,
Are the best times of all.
Enjoy them while you can,
Because life is a cupboard.
